General Indian Topics

This forum is for those of our Indian audience who are not yet comfortable with the main forums. The purpose of the forum is to allow new Indian members to get a feel for how the site works, be guided by others, and eventually graduate to the main programming and discussion forums.

Somebody please tell them to extend that to all other languages .... all over India. Last year Kollywood released around 220 movies. 200 out of 220 movies're $hitty Of-course acting(?) from some more crappy actors

Since their defeat with India (I am not even sure how India managed to defeat them in a convincing way), SA is on a roll. At this rate it will be difficult to defeat them - and moreover get them to choke.

My fear is that India may face them again.

But either way India's prospect beyond quarter final and semi-final seems very difficult.

Do you have any contact in media or press? If someone's friend is working somewhere, then that would be awesome. Otherwise, the work will be pending.

I need this to publish news about our community events on leading newspapers mostly, so that we will get a visibility in my state Odisha. By this, we can attract the IT Professionals and other companies for support and collaboration with the community. Our community name is "Microsoft Dev Community, Odisha" - http://msdcodisha.com/[^].

We are also accepting Speaker Nominations for our upcoming events. If anyone of you is interested, please drop a mail to info@msdcodisha.com. Tell us about you, your work, skills and what topics you can speak on and anything else if you want to.

I would agree to both your remarks.
It would be great if NZ can win. However, I don't expect them to reach the finals (possibly the semis as well).
The only advantage they may have is they play the quarterfinal at home. But I would expect Pakistan to win.

I remember Kenya reaching a world cup semi-final a few years ago.
Sad part is they don't even qualify for the World Cup anymore. Tragedy really.

Kenya's story is tragic, but compared to football, cricket is remarkably stable, thanks to a small core group which are by definition part of the WC. The core group also try very hard to keep the spoils and keep the outsiders out. It's a shame, really - look how many players Ireland have lost to England, because the players aspire to play Tests. Their captain's an Irishman!

Look at football - only the host is guaranteed a spot, even the defending champions may not be present to defend their title! Save a small core group (Brazil, Germany and maybe a couple of others - and they too, are present by merit and not by virtue of being the big boys at the table), the participation varies greatly from one edition to the next.

Cheers,
